Our love has always been 10 centimeters apart
After seeing lot of romcom animes, i must say this one probably has one of the most simple storyline/plot. Since it has only 6 episodes....it doesnt have much depth and the anime keeps everything straightforward... which is something i think you can either dislike or appreciate. If you are looking for a indepth romcom like Oregairu or Kono Oto Tomare.... you will be filled with dissapointment, but if you are looking for something without much depth and thought this is something for you. The anime pretty fastly shows you the main characters Haruki and Miou and even faster the supporting ones. I want to say by this that they first introduce characters, then they move to few events like firework festival where they build and grow relationship and characters little bit, create few events colliding at the same time which basically creates the "crisis" in the anime which creates a space for conclusion.
Haruki Serizawa
Haruki Serizawa is the main male character of this romcom anime, he is a member and director in the schools movie research club, in the anime you can see that he is incredibly dedicated and focused on his dream of becoming a film director. Not only that, he actually would go all in and do everything he could in anything he took part in working or contributing. He is extremely outgoing and has no problem talking with anyone, there is one exception tho, and if you watched the anime i think you might know who that might be, i am talking about his love interest Miou Aida, the main female character. Because he doesnt have the courage to confess, the anime focuses on the development of this.. dont expect it to go into a big details tho. The one thing which suprised me here is how deeply(taking to consideration how fast forward and simple this anime is)they were willing to show Harukis dillema between continuing in his film director dream or dropping it.
Miou Aida
Miou Aida is the main female character of this romcom anime. She is really interested in art and illustration, you could see this in anime by her being a member of art club or she would also draw in her sketchbook. Comparing her personality to Haruki, she isnt outgoing, rather the opposite, wherever she goes she doesnt try to catch attention for herself, she preffers to stay in the background with few of her close friends. Miou is also in comparisson with other a lot more self-criticizing... over and over saying something like i cant do this and i cant do that because its me. She recognizes she isnt straight forward with Haruki, she isnt happy about that... but like him, she just cant find the courage to tell him. Once she becomes adult tho she looks at all of this as a nostalgy.
Takeaway
This was another fun thing to think about.. the one thing i think i would take from this anime is that, if you have something you want to do or say go for it despite being scared, otherwise be prepared that you might regret it later as then it might be too late for whatever that thing is. Luckily in this anime this isnt the case as they reunite after 7 years in a (i would say) very weird and rushed way.
Gonna put this here once more. I watched this anime only because i finished more in depth and interesting anime... and i like to put between those animes something carefree and less deep.
Have a great day everyone and do what makes you happy <3
